Friends and Family,

Sonja and Mike have an announcement to make . . . WE’RE ENGAGED!! That’s right – after over 3 ½ years Mike finally decided to “pop the question” on Sunday, July 8^th.

Sunday was Mike’s birthday too. That morning Sonja gave Mike a set of new golf clubs as a birthday present. After opening the box the golf clubs were in, Mike gave Sonja a DVD wrapped in birthday paper. She opened it and played the DVD. It was a slide show, set with various songs, of pictures of us over the last 3.5+ years. She thought it was just another video, as Mike had made a few of those for her before. This time the video was a little different as it ended with a slide asking “Sonja, will you marry me?” Mike tried to get down on one knee, but Sonja jumped on him before he could even get that far!

Mike got new golf clubs and a fiancé for a birthday present . . . not bad at all!

We’ll be putting up a web site soon where you can find pictures, announcements, and all sorts of information about us.

You can also find a few more pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/buckeye01/sets/72157600724502098/.

Cheerfully,
Mike and Sonja
